About Me
¡Hola! I’m Mariana, a Spanish teacher from Buenos Aires, Argentina. I’ve been teaching for over 22 years, and I genuinely love what I do, especially seeing my students gain confidence and naturally use Spanish in real-life situations.
My lessons are personalized, dynamic, and communicative, whether you’re just starting or looking to polish your Spanish. I focus on making classes both effective and enjoyable, so learning never feels like a chore.
Outside the classroom, I enjoy reading, going to the movies, taking long walks, and relaxing by the sea with a "mate" in hand.🧉
I’ve taught more than 3,500 online lessons and am proud to have a 100% positive review record. If you’re looking for a patient, experienced, and dedicated teacher, I’d be happy to help you on your Spanish journey. Feel free to book a lesson, and let’s get started!

My trial lessons
During our trial lesson, we’ll get to know each other. I’ll ask you about your goals and expectations, and you’re welcome to ask me anything as well. We’ll do a few level-appropriate activities, including a short discussion on “¿Por qué estudias español?” and your study habits, to understand how you learn best. After the lesson, I’ll share an optional online placement test if you’d like to take it.
